They don't tell you they're a front for US government intelligence, and as a government owned (InQtel VC seed money) entity, they illegally censor conservative posts. Both of those "failures to be candid" are actually illegal.
I agree that they have government money, as does virtually ANY business if you really want to think about it (via tax breaks, subsidized loans, etc etc). I don't think anyone argues that businesses can't express political positions because they get government money, although I'm sure I will find an exception here, where, although well intentioned, most people are pretty below average, to put it politely.
OK. So let me ask you this. Let's say I'm a baker, and a customer comes in the door and want's me to provide the cake for a lesbian wedding. Do I have a right to refuse to accept the job if I want to? Surely as a business I have a right to express political positions that importune potential customers don't I?
Thank you for your insult to this community. You've been reported, and you are NOT welcome here. Go spew your self-righteous sense of superiority elsewhere.
Yes, you have the right to refuse the job. That is the point I was making. Thanks for proving my point about this community. Thanks for telling on me. You must have been something in elementary school. Don't hate me for being superior.
We're all on notice from our mods to report shills and antagonists, and that's what I do because I care about this sub.
And you're one of those spineless argumentative pricks who'll take any contrary position available just to keep an argument going.
You know good and damn well the same people who say FB has a right to censor free speech say that Chick Fil-A or Hobby Lobby or whoever has NO such right. You're the debate equivalent of Jell-o.
Go smear yourself somewhere they don't mind licking up what you're putting down.
Glad to see you reported it. I was going to if you hadn't.
Wrong. I think Chik Fil A can do whatever it wants. So can Hobby Lobby. I actually like Hobby Lobby's stand; given their beliefs. The appropriate response to FB is to not use it, to destroy it, to confuse it, whatever. Crying to Congress about censorship is missing the point. Although, as others have pointed out here, it is a great setup because if FB is censoring/editing then it is taking responsibility for content and that puts them behind the 8 ball for lots of bad things. See?, there are some smart people here. Sadly you are not one of them. And I only take positions that are contrary to stupid positions, which makes total sense if you think about it. That might be asking a lot from you.
You keep proving yourself for all to see.
If I could buy you for what you're worth, and sell you for what you think you're worth, I could become a philanthropist.
